Crystal Pendulums: A Guide to Healing and Divination
While any weighted object can swing, crystal pendulums add a potent energetic layer. Their ordered lattice structures amplify intention, clarify responses, and can actively support clearing and balancing work during a session.

- Clearer signals: Crystals often yield stronger, more decisive swings.
- Energetic hygiene: Protective stones can buffer external noise while you work.
- Dual purpose: Ask questions and direct energy for balancing chakras, rooms, or items.

Using Crystal Pendulums for Healing
Chakra Balancing
- Hold the pendulum 2–3 inches above a chakra; ask, “What is the state of this chakra?”
- Observe: large, smooth circles often indicate openness; weak/erratic movement may suggest a block.
- Intend clearing: many pendulums rotate counter-clockwise while clearing, then clockwise to replenish.
Aura Cleansing
- With Selenite or Clear Quartz, “comb” the field a few inches off the body.
- Ask the pendulum to reveal debris or weak spots; then intend clearing until swings stabilize.
Care, Cleansing & Setup
- Cleanse regularly: Moonlight, sound (singing bowl), smoke (sage/cedar), or a Selenite plate. (Avoid harsh sun for color-sensitive stones.)
- Hydrate & ground: Water and simple grounding keep signals crisp.
- Program clearly: Include a “highest good” clause each session.
- Log results: A brief journal builds trust in your accuracy over time.
Crystal pendulums don’t replace your intuitionthey refine and amplify it. Treat the tool as a partner, and its clarity will mirror your intention.
